N95 GPS Software

lolism · 7 Jul 2007 at 18:34

First off, Apologies for the 100th n95 topic.

Has anyone got any suggestions which GPS software I should get for my n95.

My dad got CoPilot free with his Orbit, can I install this on it?

The Nokia maps aren't that bad.

I'd say TomTom is the best imo but you'll need an external bluetooth GPS receiver until tomtom bring an update out so it can use the N95 built in GPS.

I'd also recommend tomtom, just get a cheap gps receiver off ebay, you can pick one up for about £25

I've been using tomtom on my n73 for about 9 months now and it's great.

Would agree using TT6 here, works a treat although the Nokia Maps are more up to date than TT.

N95 has a built in GPS receiver. TomTom here as well. On my O2 Orbit.

dont think tomtom recognises the inbuilt gps on the n95 though

might have changed with the latest firmware?

I dont know why Nokia cant allow the N95 to appear as an Bluetooth GPS, will make it easier for GPS software.

From what I've read you can't use the TT6 and the inbuilt gps receiver in the N95. The problem may be addressed in later releases of TT, we'll just have to wait and see.

Just to confirm some of the confusion, you CAN'T use the internal N95 GPS receiver on TomTom at the moment, as the Symbian TomTom will only let you search for a TomTom or bluetooth GPS receiver, and not anything else like a COM port.

Hey mate ,
route 66 will work with the internal gps not a problem make sure that you use the version (Route66.Mobile.v7.3.486) . now getting it installed can be a little tricky < it took me a little while to be honest.
yeah the nokia maps does cost thats why i opted for the route 66 compaired to nokia maps and just to confirm i have had a play with tomtom on my mates vario2 and there pretty much the same , all the hype over tomtom verus the rest is a bit of banter i feel as we did a route in the same car with both working and they both showed the same options .

if you add me to msn i will be happy to help you with this no problems at all i got ton up on tons of free apps and maybe the odd route 66 present for you i am sure

Look forward to speaking to you

TomTom mobile version 5 and Route 66 (not 100% sure on version, possibly 6?) will work
